Autumn & Winter Breaks at the Pierhouse
Autumn and Winter are perhaps the most exciting and dramatic seasons of the year at The Pierhouse Hotel. Brilliant colours highlight the beauty of the lochs and glens, and the clarity of light luminating the skies and waters are truly breathtaking. Early snows often magically transform the peaks of Ben Nevis and Glencoe and the surrounding landscape, and the spectacular range of wildlife on view is second to none.
We offer a fantastic range of autumn and winter breaks and outdoor activities to allow our guests to make the most of their time in this beautiful part of the West Coast. Please contact us as soon as possible so that we can offer you as full a range of options as possible. We recommend a minimum of 2 or 3 nights stay in order for guests to fully appreciate the wildlife and activities on hand. We are very happy to help you organise the action-packed or relaxing stay that you would like, so please do not hesitate to ask for any helpful suggestions.
